Copier Textures Photo Effect

It’s high time to put old photocopier to good use: dried ink doesn’t make toner bad, but unveils some refreshing printing techniques. Having found a pile of our long-forgotten scanned and printed illustrations, used for the experimental purposes, we thought of turning all these treasures into a reference for the next photo effect. Some were withered and vague, others pretty inky and fresh-looking, but all of them had that distinguishing grunge aesthetics, indispensable for many visual projects! 

 

The ready-made collection of files comprises 3 PSD formats: square, vertical and horizontal — no more puzzling over editing an artboard the way it both fits and image and doesn’t disguise the applied effect. Inside each PSD there are options for leaving a vague, medium or intense printing effect, all depends on the used imagery and the end-result you're aiming at. Having it all black and white would be too boring, right? That's what we thought of and added a color overlay feature to have it changed into any required shade.
